This book speaks to a common refrain from the older crowd, that current-day gay men are far less witty, snarky and brilliantly funny as the gays of yore. Maybe it;s true; Charles Nelson Riley and 'center square', Paul Lynde and the like, who suggest it was all so much more fun, and not because it was just safer, but more interesting. God help the gays if we become as dull-witted and stale as a Kansas frat boy. "?"
